Re: [OPE] Is Larry Elliot right?

Jerry,

The City of London - ie Britain's financial sector. I got the quote from
Hywell Williams from The Guardian as well.

Re the Labour Party - it always was an imperialist party see Robert Clough
Labour: A party fit for imperialism - Larkin Publications 1992 , which
argues the point in great detail. a useful article of his online is Labour
Party 100 years of infamy
http://www.revolutionarycommunist.org/frfipages/153/153-lab.htm

Please do not quote Lenin's position, as even his argument re the Labour
Party would have only held until after The General Strike in 1926.
